TV Shows - Maury

Maury (formerly known as The Maury Povich Show) is a syndicated American television show hosted by Maury Povich, created along the same lines as The Jerry Springer Show. Episodes usually deal with issues of sexual infidelity, paternity test results, unusual illnesses or makeovers, or parenting. Originally produced by MoPo Productions in association with Paramount Television when it first went on the air in 1991, the show was revamped in 1998, when Studios USA (now NBC Universal) took over production. (MoPo continues to co-produce with NBC Universal.)

I'll start this off by admitting that this show and Jerry Springer are two guilty pleasures of mine. With that said - there's no denying both these shows have jumped the shark and it is still sad to see the guy who once hosted A Current Affair swapping back and forth between lie detector tests and paternity tests. -- Submitted By: (TheTruth) on August 31, 2014, 11:44 am - (0 votes)

When that one lady kept coming back (she came back at least 10 times) because she was on a "never ending quest" to find the father of her child. Uhh, how about keeping some sort of memo pad that details who sleep with each day instead? WTF? How do you come on Maury like 14 times and still haven't located your child's father? What the hell are you doing with your life besides screwing random people? -- Submitted By: (JTScomments) on August 29, 2014, 8:32 pm - (0 votes)

Maury sits up there acting as if he gives a damn. Dude, you're not fooling anyone. -- Submitted By: (JTScomments) on August 29, 2014, 8:30 pm - (0 votes)

Could this show possibly feature more paternity tests? That seems to be the topic almost every time I'm unlucky enough to catch the end of the show. -- Submitted By: (JTScomments) on August 29, 2014, 8:29 pm - (0 votes)

When Maury started doing shows about people who have no life and dress up in drag and the audience has to guess if their male or female. That is when the show jumped the shark. -- Submitted By: (JTScomments) on August 29, 2014, 8:28 pm - (0 votes)

Although this show has always blown, it's gotten damned disturbing over the last couple of years. It seems like EVERY episode is devoted to sassy teenaged girls in tube-tops, who Maury (with the help of large, angry men in uniform) manages to dominate by the end of the show. -- Submitted By: (JTScomments) on August 29, 2014, 8:27 pm - (0 votes)

As soon as all the wild teens started hugging Maury and writing him schmaltzy thank you letters. They were in boot camp for 2 DAYS! They've been out of control for years. I'm sorry, but there's no possible way boot camp could change a kid that fast and that dramatically. Somebody has to be scripting this phony garbage. -- Submitted By: (JTScomments) on August 29, 2014, 8:27 pm - (0 votes)

Of course, Bootcamp, Bootcamp, Bootcamp! Also the fact that the show has no website at least not that I can locate. Maury seems to be the king of exploiting overweight toddlers. Anyone else think it's weird that the kids are always in diapers and nothing else. I remember reading somewhere that a mother on one of those shows was really mad because she told them she wanted her child to have his shirt on and the producers had removed his clothes before he came on the stage. By the way, how does one go about becoming licensed to run a boot camp? Maybe I could start one - I could get kids from Sally's show too. How 'bout it Maury? I could set up some tents in my backyard! -- Submitted By: (JTScomments) on August 29, 2014, 8:26 pm - (0 votes)

Yes, I happen to run across this 'tele-travesy' every now and again whilst channel surfing and every time I see just a snippet of it I feel as if I am witnessing, in slow-motion, the decline of western civilization right before my eyes. -- Submitted By: (Friedrich_Feuerstein) on July 20, 2011, 12:58 pm - (1 votes)

The most vile show on television. Probably the worst TV show ever. At least Jerry Springer is honestly irreverent towards the guests that he's exploiting and doesn't patronize like Maury does. Also the Springer guests are so outrageous that I can take solace in the fact that they might just be actors. The idiocy of the Maury guests appears to be 100% authentic. Whenever I catch part of a Maury episode, I really want the world to end in 2012. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on July 19, 2011, 4:33 pm - (2 votes)

This show is funny to watch sometimes when there nothing else on. Between Marisol and Geogretta, they had sex with over half of the American population. South Park is so right on when they make fun of Maury. Especially Cartman acted like a wild teen saying, "whateva, I do what I want" and the wild teens on Maury in real life keep saying "whateva", very lol funny. -- Submitted By: (SSM) on January 16, 2011, 8:05 am - (1 votes)

I wonder what Connie Chung thinks about this garbage. She was serious about her work as a journalist as Maury used to be about his work. Hey, where is she anyway? Is she still working? -- Submitted By: (fletch000) on February 10, 2010, 12:39 pm - (0 votes)

This show just about makes me ashamed that Maury Povich was from D.C. This isn't to say everything Povich did was crap. He was the son of longtime WaPo sports columnist Shirley Povich. He had worked for then-independent television station WTTG, channel 5, for nearly two decades. The first few years of the show were decent. Then came the dumb-as-dirt guests and equally dumb audience members. WDCW, which now airs the show twice a day in D.C., recently claimed the station to have the highest ratings in the time slots Povich airs his slop, which just goes to show that popularity doesn't necessarily equal quality! -- Submitted By: (joeygatorman) on January 29, 2010, 5:52 pm - (0 votes)
